Nothing puts a damper on a ride quite like getting a flat. For ultimate peace of mind regarding puncture protection, plus a tread compound that's built for mega-miles, look no further than the Continental Ultra Gatorskin road tire. Engineered for a superb level of toughness, the Ultra Gatorskin combines a 180 tpi casing, a layer of Duraskin (Polyamide nylon fabric) from bead-to-bead for cut resistance, and finally a Kevlar-reinforced layer beneath the tread to ward off punctures. The durable carbon black compound is designed to last for the long haul and its slick center section keeps you rolling smooth.

Long-wearing tread compound is great for training and riding every day

I bought Marathon Plus 28s. They were bomb proof, but weigh a ton, and I was noticably slower. I replaced them with Gatorskins 28s. I still get a smother ride, but they are much lighter - less than half the weight. I am saving the M+ tires for touring, and use these for daily rides. Going to 28s was a good thing.

I bought these tires in April for a cross country cycling trip i went on this summer. Between training rides and the summer trip, i put over 5,000 miles on these tires, and only had one flat! I'm actually back to buy another set cause mine are just about shot, and i'm doing another trip this coming summer. These tires are amazing!

I rode a racing bike for years, but am getting older now, so I went for a crossbike. The 700/32 Kendas that came on the bike were awful, not even round. I switched to 700/28 Gatorskins and am very pleased. It has a much better ride and are easy to mount.

I bought these to replace the Gatorskins on my road bike. The old ones had about 3000 miles on them, flatting just one time. I consider this excellent durability as I regularly pedal some very rough roads.

over all its a great tire, I got 2800 miles onit. After 2 years the side walls started comingapart, I go down some steep hills, so I replacedboth tires, with the same tires. Using regulartires I was getting a flat about every 2 weeks.

I bike 16 to 18k miles per year so I don't want to spend a fortune on tires I get up to 5k on rear and sometimes 12k on the front.No tire will keep out glass and metal, kevlar or not, these tires are tough, to withstand the roads in deep south Texas they have to, probably the worst roads in the U.S.Roads are if ever swept. I don't have a problem with changing although putting back on can be tough,just let out all the air.I would recommend these to anyone, the only problem is price, it keeps going up like everything.
